⁷ All the brothers of a poor man hate him;
how much more do his friends
keep their distance from him!

but they are not there. ⁸ The one who acquires good sense loves himself;
one who safeguards understanding finds success. ⁹ A false witness will not go unpunished,
and one who utters lies perishes.
